Democrat Republican
The District
Rep. Jim Nussle, a moderate who has had
tough races in recent cycles, is departing this
seat to run for governor, and Braley and
Whalen are facing off in this closely-divided
district. Spanning 12 counties in northeast
Iowa, the district is one-third Republican, one-
third Democratic and one-third independent. Its
population centers, along the Mississippi, are
Dubuque and the Davenport-Bettendorf
metropolitan area.
